"And, once more, why are you?" interposed Napoleon. "After we all came back from the boat, we found you still missing"

What? Have you really been to the boat, then?"

"Oh, Lord, Guy, don't you know anything?" groaned Napoleon. "Yes, we went to the boat, and a whole heap of things happened dead mon ard lunatics and tele- phone wires cut and goodness knows what else, besides and when we counted up six absentees, we thought it time to do a little hunting, So Sefton fetched the police, and a hunting we did go.

"No, I didn't," answered Guy, again glancing towards the forest, and then turning and staring to- wards the north. "I left the hotel to chase you--".

"Mo?"

"Yes. You're not a bad follow, Napoleon, but you're a prize ass,, and no mistake. I never meant you to take that silly bet acrious-! ly, and you've given me a proper ] scare,"

"Glad to hear it," responded Napoleon. "I've had some proper scares, too. I say, I think I'll sit down again for a jiffy. You know,

Guy looked at him anxiously, "I say, old chap, are you bad?" he naked.

"No. But a couple of minutes will just set me on my foot again."

"Then I'm jolly glad I turned back, and let the bobby finish the chase," said Guy, helping his com-: panion down to a prassy mound. "That better? Good.
